Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 352: Heard That Lu Yang Could Battle Opponents Three Major Realms Higher

Chapter 352: Heard That Lu Yang Could Battle Opponents Three Major Realms Higher

The provincial governor took two deep breaths, barely restraining the urge to kick his subordinate.

Let guests stay in prison? Do they look like they’re from the Dao-Seeking Sect?

He glared at his subordinate. “Go invite the immortal sect disciples over. We still have a few guest rooms available in the estate. Tidy them up, set up Spirit-Qi Gathering Arrays, and place Heart-Nourishing Stones where appropriate.”

“Yes, sir!”

Soon, three immortal sect disciples, two males and one female, entered the administrative office. They were glowing with vigor, their eyes radiating confidence.

Observing them, the provincial governor nodded inwardly. As expected of immortal sect disciples. It’s obvious at a glance that they are the best among the best. They’ve already formed their golden cores at such a young age—what terrifying talent.

The provincial governor could discern their cultivation realms. According to the correspondence with their sects, these three disciples were not yet eighteen. They all reached the Golden Core stage before eighteen and possess first-grade golden cores; such cultivation speed was rare even in history.

When the Battle of the Great Era arrives, these illustrious talents will probably be the main characters.

“Greetings, Your Excellency. I am Lan Ting of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace.” Lan Ting was lithe, and her eyes sparkled like stars. With every stride, her white robes and skirt sash fluttered and danced.

“I am Bai Ming of the Five-Elements Sect,” Bai Ming said with his usual cold demeanor.

“Yan Tianzhi. Prison Suppression Sect.” Yan Tianzhi spoke as tersely as possible, as if every one of his words was made of gold.

“I shall entrust tomorrow’s tournament commentary to you three.” The provincial governor’s face was wreathed in smiles. Although the participants tomorrow will be peers of the same age, these three immortal sect disciples’ exceptional knowledge and experience would be far from enough to serve as judges.

“We’ll do our best.”

“By the way, have you three met the representatives from the Dao-Seeking Sect?”

The three shook their heads. They had set off separately from their sects and only convened in Qing Province.

“That’s strange. The letter from the Dao-Seeking Sect mentioned sending two people, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. They’re the top prodigies of the current generation in the Dao-Seeking Sect. Judging by the time, they should have arrived.” The provincial governor was baffled.

Hearing the familiar names, Lan Ting recalled her days running the barbeque shop in Yanjiang Commandery. Tasked with a mission from her sect, I racked my brain to find a way to infiltrate the Everlasting Creed, only to miss the recruitment window. Later, I encountered Lu Yang’s trio and learned that they had successfully joined the Everlasting Creed.

In the end, I joined forces with Lu Yang’s trio to get rid of the Yanjiang Branch’s leader.

Lu Yang’s trio even earned the favor of the Everlasting Creed’s higher-ups and got promoted, while I returned to the sect to report updates on the mission.

I considered getting in touch with Lu Yang to ask if he needed assistance in other areas—ideally, we could eliminate another branch.

Who would have imagined that in less than two months, news of the Everlasting Creed’s destruction would come? When I first received the news, I stood there in a daze for half a day, wondering if it was just a rumor.

Only two months had passed!

Although it was officially announced that the Dao-Seeking Sect and the imperial court had joined hands to wipe out the Everlasting Creed’s headquarters, I dare bet that Lu Yang was involved!

When we attended a meeting at the Dao-Seeking Sect afterward, their Big Senior Sister even proposed a marriage between me and Lu Yang, frightening Shifu so much that she grabbed me and ran away immediately.

I wonder why Shifu was so scared of the Dao-Seeking Sect’s Big Senior Sister.

The provincial governor interrupted her thoughts. “Is that so...” He didn’t think too much about it. Since the Dao-Seeking Sect replied that two people will be coming, they will definitely come. Perhaps they’re enjoying the grand ceremony today; they’ll head directly to the judges’ seats when the tournament begins tomorrow.

That seems possible.

“By the way, the Hanging Monastery asked me to relay a message. They originally intended to send Senior Brother Shi Chan over, but complications arose during his Buddhist missionary mission, and he couldn’t make it. With their limited members, it’s hard for them to send a replacement.”

Shi Chan was the true lineage disciple of the current generation in the Hanging Monastery.

“Did he meet with some danger? Should I dispatch some assistance?”

“I wouldn’t exactly call it danger. It’s just that he couldn’t comprehend the phrase ‘lay down the butcher’s knife and attain enlightenment on the spot,’[1] so he joined a slaughterhouse to test whether he could attain enlightenment by really laying down the butcher’s knife.”

The provincial governor opened and closed his mouth several times before finally saying, “It’s getting late, my three little friends. Please have a rest in the estate.”

After the provincial governor left, Lan Ting suddenly asked, “Senior Brother Bai Ming, I noticed a change in your expression when the provincial governor mentioned Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. Do you know them?”

Bai Ming sighed deeply. “Not only do I know them, I’ve even exchanged blows with him.

“Senior Sister Lan Ting, you may not know about this, but four months ago, the Five-Elements Sect headed to the Dao-Seeking Sect for an exchange. During the Foundation Establishment category of the competition, Lu Yang unleashed elemental moves such as the Three Flavor True Fire and Earth Escape Technique. I prided myself on displaying supreme mastery of five-elements spells in class compared to my peers, but Lu Yang countered me at every turn.

“Just before I lost, I had an epiphany and broke through to the Intermediate Foundation Establishment Stage mid-battle. To my horror, I discovered that Lu Yang had been holding back all this time. When he saw me break through, he seemed to have transformed into a different person, with his gaze and movements changed drastically. Before I could even dish out a move, I was defeated in one move of his. Had my shifu not intervene in time, I might have been crippled or killed.”

With the cordial relations between the Five Great Immortal Sects, disciples typically addressed their peers as fellow senior brothers and sisters.

“That strong?!” Lan Ting was floored. I knew about Lu Yang’s astonishing talent, but I didn’t expect him to defeat Bai Ming in one move.

Yan Tianzhi also widened his eyes, expressing his shock as he had sparred with Bai Ming before. Bai Ming is well-versed in spear techniques and five-elements spells, making him a tricky opponent, be it in close or ranged combat. How could he have been defeated in one move?

“According to my shifu, Lu Yang had cast a lost ancient mighty ability—Water-Repelling Mantra. Without specific countermeasures, this move is unstoppable. It can drain all the water in the opponent’s body, desiccating them.” Bai Ming shuddered at the memory of Lu Yang casually deploying the Water-Repelling Mantra. With how effortless it was for him, it looked like if I could somehow survive the Water-Repelling Mantra, he would have worse mighty abilities waiting for me.

“Not only that. First Elder of the Dao-Seeking Sect even personally admitted that Lu Yang had challenged those beyond his level despite being at the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

Yan Tianzhi simply smiled, not paying it any heed. All three of us can challenge those beyond our level. It’s nothing to flaunt about.

Bai Ming continued in a grave voice. “Three major realms beyond! When he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he defeated Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transfiguration cultivators!”

Lan Ting and Yan Tianzhi were stumped for words. Three levels higher? That only exists in dreams!

Lan Ting recalled her battle with Lu Yang, where they killed the Yanjiang Branch Leader. Lu Yang seemed to be completely in control, handling everything with ease. Now I get why. It’s because he wasn’t using his full strength. novelbuddy-cσ๓

“I suspect that he must have relied on the advantages of the right time, the right place, arrays, and pills,” Bai Ming analyzed. Otherwise, I can’t imagine how a Foundation Establishment cultivator could have defeated a Divine Transfiguration cultivator.

Even with all these external advantages, battling those three major realms higher is still a terrifying feat. At the very least, none of us is capable of that.

“It’s a pity we don’t know where these two have gone.”

“Maybe we’ll get to see them at tomorrow’s tournament.”

1. It means something like those who are willing to turn over a new leaf have the kind heart of a Buddha. ☜
